STEEL FIBRE THE DURABLE SOLUTION FOR FLOORING APPLICATIONS
STATE-OF-THE-ART FLOORS WITH STEEL FIBRE REINFORCEMENT
Industrial floors are normally subjected to various types of loading. There will be heavy rack posts, material handling equipment like forklifts, stacked loads, heavy tanks and other processing machines. Steel fibre concrete floors are a technically high-quality and extremely economical alternative to conventional reinforced industrial floors. With steel fiber concrete flooring joint free floors can be easily designed and constructed. Joint-free industrial floors are especially durable and less maintenance-intensive. This makes them a high-quality, inexpensive alternative to joint-cut industrial floors. In the last three decades steel fibre reinforced concrete has proven to be a reliable and most suitable construction material for typical industrial floors
ADVANTAGES OF STEEL FIBERS IN INDUSTRIAL FLOORS
BENEFITS
Increase reinforcement effects with wall of even thickness on a rugged surface
Increase tensile strength, bending strength, shear strength of concrete; no hollowing-out ; reduction of wall thickness(20%)
High resistance to cracking; increase in toughness (residual strength) after cracking Shotcrete construction possible right after excavation; drop in risk of cave-in disasters; rise in reinforcement effects and safety of permanent structures
COST EFFECTIVENESS
Reduce labor costs, as no reinforcement assembly process is required Reduce working hours and construction costs
Reduce construction cost due to shortened construction period.
Reduce working hours and construction costs.
QUALITY
Streamlined work process; rise in quality and safety .
Reduce construction cost due to shortened construction period.
Reduce working hours and construction costs.
Reduce working hours and construction costs.
